Creative Circle Careers & Info

Current CEO: Matt Riley

Status: Active

Creative Circle is a staffing firm that focuses on placing candidates into advertising, creative, marketing, interactive, and visual communication positions. The company works with freelance talent and places individuals into full-time positions. Creative Circle’s clients include advertising agencies, corporate marketing and communications departments and other industries that require creative resources.

The company’s roots date back to 2001. It is a privately-held company with approximately 51-200 employees. The staffing agency is headquartered in Los Angeles, CA. It has additional offices in the following locations:

• Atlanta, GA • Boston, MA • Chicago, IL • Dallas, TX • Ft. Lauderdale, FL • Paramus, NJ • New York, NY • Philadelphia, PA • San Francisco, CA • Seattle, WA • Washington, DC

The company’s slogan is the power of talent. Its competitors are agencies such as Digital People and Aquent. Creative Circle uses a consultative and collaborative approach to place the best-fitting candidates with its clients’ openings. Those working at Creative Circle as recruiters meet face-to-face with prospects and screen them to ensure they match the needs of its clients. The agency has a national network of candidates and lets clients know that it will find the right fit the first time. This helps ensure that clients meet their goals and remain competitive and productive.

Creative Circle has a partnership with Riordan, Lewis & Haden (RLH), a private equity firm. The company’s CEO states that RLH provides advice, insights and resources that are vital to the agency’s success.

The company communicates many of its openings to potential candidates via mass email. People seeking Creative Circle careers should ensure they check their email frequently as the company often gets in assignments where candidates are needed on short notice.

The Creative Circle culture seems similar to other creative staffing agencies. The firm heavily relies on short-term talent to staff the needs of its clients. People working as account managers or recruiters will need to have entrepreneurial and portfolio building skills. Recruiters are commission based so potential hires will want to ensure they feel comfortable cold calling and maintaining a steady network of candidates to place.

People working as contractors do not receive Creative Circle benefits. However, because the company recruits for full-time positions, those placed will likely receive the benefits of the company they are placed at. In addition, Creative Circle clients hire those who start as freelancers with their companies. Therefore, employees have the opportunity to earn benefits after receiving a direct-placement offer.
